Sex Discrimination
The Employment Judge erred in law in holding that all that is necessary for a person to be an employee in the extended sense for the purposes of section 83(2) Equality Act 2010 is that the person should have entered into a contract under which she or he agrees to do work personally.
There is no significant difference between the definition of an employee in the extended sense for the purposes of section 83(2) Equality Act 2010 and a limb (b) worker for the purposes of provisions such as the Employment Rights Act 1996 , both of which exclude those who are genuinely in business on their own account and undertake work for their clients or customers.
